London: British actress Michelle Keegan has been voted as the sexiest woman in the world in a survey conducted by a men’s lifestyle magazine.
The former ‘Coronation Street’ actress has topped FHM magazine’s annual poll, beating ‘Keeping up with the Kardashians’ star Kendall Jenner and last year’s winner Jennifer Lawrence into second and third place respectively.
The 27-year-old star has previously ranked second in 2014 and fourth in 2013 in FHM survey.
Keegan first entered the list in 2010 at number 30 and after years of winning sexiest soap star, she has finally nabbed the big prize.
The sexiest woman news comes at a very exciting time, too, as Keegan set to marry fiancée, Mark Wright, any day now!
The British television personality took to Twitter personally to congratulate his ladylove on the accomplishment. “To all the fellas in the world I just want to say….. I’m sorry !!!! That beautiful creature is about to be my wife.â€
Kate Upton climbed 14 places to take fourth spot, while new UK ‘X Factor’ host Caroline Flack has soared up the chart from 48th in 2012 and 70th in 2013 to take fifth place.
Singer Ariana Grande came seventh in the poll, which saw over a million votes cast, and ‘Wolf of Wall Street’ star Margot Robbie was seventh.
Rounding out the top 10 were ‘The Only Way is Essex’ star Lucy Mecklenburgh, who reclaimed the eighth spot, ‘Game of Thrones’ actress Emilia Clarke in ninth and Kelly Brook, whose 10th place marked her 18th appearance on the poll, including first place in 2005.
FHM editor Joe Barnes said: “Many congratulations to Michelle on her very worthy win. This year’s 100 Sexiest poll was more keenly contested than ever – we had over a million votes, which was truly incredible. And for me, and the FHM team, it’s great to see a hugely talented UK actress take the top spot.”
